(NHL) Vegas vs. Boston, 12/05/2022 7:00 PM, Score: 4 - 3
Total: 6.00 | -103.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is going to be an emotional game with Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy returning to Boston for the first time after being the Bruins coach for six seasons until being let go this past June.

I'm expecting a tight-checking matchup between two strong defensive clubs.

Boston gives up the fewest goals per game in the NHL. The Bruins have held 11 of their last 13 opponents to two goals or fewer. It's a break for the Under if Las Vegas' Jack Eichel can't play after suffering a lower-body injury in the Golden Knights' last game two days ago.

Las Vegas gives up the seventh-fewest goals per game at 2.7. This is the finale of a four-game, eight-day road trip. So the Golden Knights aren't likely to push tempo.

The Under has cashed the past four times the teams have met in Boston.
